    I keep wondering when I'm going to give up on this thread, but I guess I find I'm arguing with all the crazy people I've met at that one Trader's Expo that came back to life here...

    Padu, you remind me of all the guys who'd buy body building magazines (in the pre-internet days), have a gym membership, and spend 10% of the time at the gym working out and 90% talking to other guys about their technique, then go home, drink a protein shake, and think that you're going to get big.

    You're clearly a lost cause Padu. But 1) market is slow again, and I'm doing this instead of watching YouTube and 2) there are other people reading this for sure.

    Padutrader needs to leave Topstep and go to Twelve Steps instead :)

    Unfortunately people in his position who have wasted so much time are major victims of sunk cost fallacy. Obviously he is in an environment where he doesn't have to answer for his time, hence he can waste it for as many years as God gives him. Not a good situation to be in.

    I thought you weren't taking 5 contract positions anymore with a $1000 daily loss limit?

    How can you keep making the same mistake over and over again?
    You shouldn't be trading more than 1 ES contract with that daily loss limit and the current volatility in the market.

    He's trading demo. And he will do one of two things: trade demo, or trade TopStep. I just sure hope whatever money he does have left he will invest into SPY, then at least he can say he's made money in the S&Ps.

    The post I quoted from Padu doing that 5 contract ES trade earlier today was in a Topstep account, he tried to hide the account name but I could still make out it is his Topstep account.

    How childish... tried to hide the account name.

    This guy is beyond those who are beyond hopeless. Why even bother? He's just not well. He comes here because he wants the interaction.
